It started to rain lightly, and the summer heat subsided a lot.
The empress sat under the eaves, listening to the sound of rain outside, while Yingfeng made tea beside her.
One of the pleasures of the ancients was listening to the rain.
Sitting under the eaves, sipping tea, listening to the sound of rain, looking at the misty rain in the distance, letting my thoughts wander freely, and being in a daze for a while.
Yingfeng poured a cup of tea, and the empress took a sip and said, "You don't need to accompany me during this period. You can handle things with Long Chengen."
The Tianxiahui will be dealt with soon. The most important thing now is to cooperate with the ambush in Xichang.
Yingfeng said: "I obey the order."
Putting down the teapot, Yingfeng was about to go out when Di Waner came in from the outside and reported: "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Linglong Pavilion, saying that Dazhu Kingdom has invited your Majesty to come over and see a new weapon."
The empress put down the tea cup and said slightly surprised: "What do you want me to see in person?"
Last time Long Chen tinkered with the bed crossbow and divine arm bow, he didn't ask the empress to see it in person. This time, it was so grand. Could it be stronger than the bed crossbow?
Di Waner shook her head and said: "Only one messenger came from Linglong Pavilion, and she didn't know about it either."
The empress didn't ask any questions. What Long Chen wanted her to see on the spot must be extraordinary.
"Let's go see what good things Long Chengen has tinkered with."
The empress stood up with a smile. She was always looking forward to Long Chen's affairs.
"You don't have to go, you're busy with your own business."
After receiving the order, Yingfeng retreated, accompanied by Di Waner.
The empress took a carriage and went to Linglong Pavilion without showing any imperial guard of honor.
The carriage quickly arrived at Linglong Pavilion, and Long Chen and Gongsun Linglong immediately came out to greet them.
At this time, Gongsun Linglong changed into a dress that was less revealing.
"The humble minister pays homage to His Majesty."
The empress got off the carriage and asked with a smile: "What good thing do you want me to come and see in person?"
Before Long Chen could speak, Gongsun Linglong said first: "Your Majesty, Long Chengen has made a wine jar. Please go and see its power."
The empress and Di Waner were both stunned. They were still talking along the way, saying that Long Chen would come up with something powerful. After working on it for a long time, it turned out to be a wine jar?
"Long Chengen, didn't you brew a jar of wine and invite me to come and taste it?"
The empress joked.
Long Chen smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense, Wei Chen has invented a new type of weapon, a very powerful one!"
The empress smiled and said: "That's right. If you let me come over to taste wine, I will punish you severely."
Long Chen secretly laughed and said: Punishment? On the bed? Or on the imperial couch?
"I don't dare, please, Your Majesty."
Long Chen led the way, and the empress and Di Waner entered the weapons testing site in the back mountain.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier. The heat and water vapor in Linglong Pavilion mixed with each other. It was very muggy on the mountain and the empress was sweating all over.
Gongsun Linglong immediately ordered his men to make a cold drink.
The empress glanced around and saw a wine jar placed in the field, and asked: "Is that your new weapon?"
Long Chen replied: "Exactly."
Di Waner looked at it from a distance and said with a smile: "Dazhu Kingdom, you have really brewed a new bar? Is it possible that you want to drunken the enemy to death?"
The empress smiled and said: "It's possible."
Long Chen chuckled and did not answer, but said in his heart: You two naughty hooves, I will deal with you next time!
A female officer came over with a bowl of ice drink.
Gongsun Linglong took it and presented it to him: "Your Majesty, it's hot here. Please have a bowl of cold drink."
The empress took it. There were diced fruits in a thin layer of ice crystals, and she drank a bowl.
"You still have ice here, was it cut by Quanhu Lake?"
The empress thought it was ice cubes stored in winter.
Gongsun Linglong smiled and said: "No, Long Chengen used saltpeter to make ice. This was done temporarily."
The empress said in surprise: "Did it happen temporarily?"
Gongsun Linglong said proudly: "I will demonstrate it to Your Majesty."
Gongsun Linglong asked his men to bring a water tank and an iron bucket, and then brought saltpeter and added it to the water. The temperature of the water dropped sharply, and a layer of ice quickly formed in the iron bucket.
The empress stretched out her hand to fish out some ice crystals and said in surprise: "It's actually possible to do this?"
Di Waner said in surprise: "Dazhu Kingdom, how do you know that saltpeter can make ice?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Because I am knowledgeable and talented."
The empress fiddled with the ice crystals and asked, "Is this saltpeter just for making ice?"
Gongsun Linglong shook his head, pointed at the jar in the rain, and said, "It's to build new weapons."
The empress feels a little interesting.
The summer rain passed quickly. Long Chen walked to the field and asked someone to place several dummies next to the jar, put on tattered clothes, put a few more dummies three meters away, and put a few more dummies ten meters away.
.
After placing the dummies, Long Chen opened the lid of the wine jar, lit the incense, and ran back.
"Everyone, stay away, don't come near! Find a place to take cover!"
Long Chen scolded him, and the women who were watching retreated and found a place to hide.
Long Chen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please watch from behind the wall. This thing is very dangerous."
The empress smiled and didn't care too much.
Even flying knives and poisonous darts cannot hurt the empress, let alone a wine jar.
However, the empress still entered the room and looked out the window.
Time passed little by little, the incense burnt out, and the ten kilograms of gunpowder at the bottom of the jar ignited.
boom!
There was a huge explosion, the jar exploded, thick smoke came out, and debris flew everywhere.
Di Waner was startled, thinking there was thunder in the sky.
The three dummies surrounding the jar were blown apart, their clothes burned, the dummy three meters away fell down, and the dummy ten meters away was still standing.
Long Chen frowned, slightly disappointed: "It's not powerful enough!"
The ancient technology was not good enough. Although Long Chen tried his best to improve the purity of the black gunpowder and also carried out granulation treatment to make it burn more fully and quickly, the final effect was still not ideal.
The empress quickly walked out of the room and arrived at the place where the jars were placed, and found a hole blown up on the ground.
This place is specially used for horse racing and weapon testing, and the ground is very hard.
Such a hard ground actually created a crater, and the empress was shocked.
The clothes of several human dummies surrounding the jar were still burning, and the wood inside was blown apart.
The dummy three meters away was overturned by the air wave, and pieces of pottery and iron were pierced into the wood.
The dummy ten meters away also had fragments pierced into the wood.
"If we stood around..."
Di Waner felt terrible.
Gongsun Linglong came over, stared at the black marks on the ground, and cursed angrily: "Long Chengen, you still said you wanted to marry me, and you wanted to kill me. You didn't tell me about such a dangerous and terrifying thing in advance!"
Gongsun Linglong was frightened by the explosives.
The female workers at Linglong Pavilion were also frightened. They had no idea that what they were tinkering with was so terrifying.
"Oh my god, I made that jar."
A female worker felt her legs were weak. This thing was too scary.
In the past, the power of crossbows and swords depended on the person using them, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But this explosive, after being ignited, can exert terrifying power without any operation, which is very scary.
Long Chen finally walked in, squatted down and looked at the ground, then looked at the dummy's injuries, shook his head and sighed: "We still need to think of ways to increase the power."
The empress and others looked at Long Chen with astonished eyes.
Di Waner said: "Dazhu Kingdom, how much power do you want? This is not enough?"
